Well if the tilting system is the biggest problem I consider myself ahead. I would have assumed the variable length/width and axle swapping would be the issue.


Front bumper winches easily move thousands of pounds. I wanted to put up some solid metal framing on one side of the garage and attach the winch to the top. Once on it's side it shouldn't be too hard to keep it there I assume. Obviously with a car hauler weighing up to 4000lbs in steel it better be stout - was going to model it up in a CAD program to get an idea of the stresses and suggested steel strength for different pieces to be.


Where I currently live has a double garage - can park two inside and two outside. Except roommate gets half. I assume anywhere else i'm going will be a similar arrangement/triples aren't seen in my financial bracket.

My daily driver/beater parks outside. The tow vehicle parks indoors/want to keep that a bit nicer as I plan to have it for a long time/trucks hold value better if properly taken care of. If I can get the trailer on it's side it only takes as much width as it is tall, which is barely over the height of the tires really on a low slung car hauler.
